Hi Yinghai,

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

The point we are using SRAT is that we need the hot-pluggable bit in SRAT.
I didn't find such info in PMTT or elsewhere.

We use SRAT in this way aims to satisfy users who don't want to specify
physical address ranges in kernel command line. They want to use SRAT to
determine which memory is hot-pluggable, and which is not.

To achieve this aim, we have to ensure we have the SRAT info before 
memblock
starts to allocate memory. So that we can prevent memblock from allocating
memory in the hot-pluggable area. So I have to parse SRAT earlier.

I don't think the code is that messy. I think we can encapsulate the clear
up job into one function, and call it where it is needed.

How do you think ?

Thanks. :)
